The Grassroots Projects Grants aim to provide comprehensive and flexible funding for cultural projects that focus on social issues and encourage dialogue. Civil society organisations, initiatives, and all individuals who want to produce projects with a non-profit mindset can apply. While an application can be made with a co-applicant and/or affiliate, applicants are expected to document their activities in the field of culture and arts for at least 2 years. Projects eligible for funding include workshops, seminars, symposiums, concerts, performances, theatre productions, educational programmes in all fields of art, journalistic work and documentaries, collections and archiving projects as well as film productions.
